Israel-Gaza latest news: UN Security Council to vote on Gaza ceasefire resolution - BBC News
The majority of the council has long supported an immediate ceasefire so all eyes will be on Israel’s ally, the United States.
The US representative at the UN, Robert Wood, has said that they wouldn’t support an immediate ceasefire.
"While the United States strongly supports a durable peace, in which both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security, we do not support calls for an immediate ceasefire."
"This would only plant the seeds for the next war because Hamas has no desire to see a durable peace," he told the UN Security Council.
The US is one of the permanent members which has the right to veto resolution.

America's blind adherence to insanity just goes on and on and on.
At this point, it most definitely isn't blind; which makes me think its calculated. Which in turn, sends a very cold shiver down my spine...
I used the word "insanity" as a play on the adage ... The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
It just seems to me that's what America has been doing for years now in regards to Israel's zionist gov't.
Oh i totally got that when i read your comment; what i'm saying is that at this point, and with how blatant it is, its starting to look like this may actually be the result they've been working towards. So it's starting to not look like insanity anymore. And THAT sends chills down my spine
Well for biden the calculation in practice seems to be "back Israel publicly so they'll listen to us privately"
Some major breakthroughs that haven't been getting coverage has been hostage swaps negotiated by the US as well as getting an agreement from Israel to end the blockade of Palestine's natural resource wealth. Folks on those threads are joking that reopening the airport in Gaza could become a possibility for the post war picture now.
